Messi scores as PSG takes a five-point lead, but Mbappe is injured.

It was unclear what had caused his injury. As he walked to the locker room, cameras caught him rubbing the back of his left thigh. PSG coach Christophe Galtier told Canal Plus that he took a blow behind the knee, but that the injury does not appear to be serious.
Does it look like a bruise? We do not yet know. It doesn’t appear to be serious, Galtier said. We’re not concerned. Argentina’s Messi scored PSG’s second goal in the 72nd minute with a typically neat finish after being set up by Fabiu00e1n Ruiz, who put PSG ahead in the 55th.
Arnaud Nordin equalized in the 89th minute, and with the home team pushing forward, 16-year-old substitute Warren Zare-Emery scored his first goal for the club in stoppage time to make it 3-1.
I’m very happy because it’s my first goal in the first division, Zare-Emery said after becoming PSG’s youngest scorer. In March, the midfielder will turn 17 years old.
PSG is five points ahead of Marseille, which won 2-0 at Nantes to move one point ahead of Lens in the race for the automatic Champions League spot. Lens was defeated 1-0 at home by Nice, its first home league defeat and its second overall.
PSG travels to Monaco and Marseille this month for French Cup matches, as well as the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 match against Bayern Munich on February 14.
Earlier, Marseille extended its unbeaten streak to ten games. Marseille scored in the 58th minute when Nantes central defender Joao Victor tripped on-rushing winger Cengiz u00dcnder inside the penalty area and put the ball into his own net. Azzedine Ounahi, a midfielder for World Cup semi finalist Morocco, scored in stoppage time on his Marseille debut.
Nantes had not conceded a goal in its previous seven games. Igor Tudor’s Marseille has won seven of its last eight league games. Gaetan Laborde scored for the second game in a row as Nice handed Lens its first league defeat since Oct. 9.
Fourth-place Monaco maintained its one-point lead over fifth-place Rennes with a 3-2 home win over 19th-place Auxerre. Wissam Ben Yedder, a striker, and Eliesse Ben Seghir, a 17-year-old attacking midfielder, both scored for Monaco, which has 13 goals in its last four league games.
Rennes won 3-0 at home against 18th-place Strasbourg, with forward Amine Gouiri scoring twice, while Lyon drew 0-0 at home against Brest. Folarin Balogun, the English striker who equalised in stoppage time when Reims drew 1-1 at PSG on Sunday, scored a hat-trick in his team’s 4-2 win over Lorient to move to the top of the scoring charts. His 14 goals are one more than PSG striker Kylian Mbappu00e9.

Balogun, who began his career at Premier League club Arsenal, scored three goals against goalkeeper Vito Mannone, who also began his career at Arsenal, and came close to scoring a fourth near the end.
Thijs Dallinga, a Dutch striker, scored his team’s first goal in a 4-1 win over Troyes after scoring two goals for Toulouse the previous weekend. Clermont drew 0-0 at Lille, while Angers fell 2-1 at home to fellow struggler Ajaccio, who scored in the fourth minute of injury time through striker Mounam El Idrissy.
Angers has lost 13 consecutive matches, a French league record, and has won only two of 21 games this season.
